Not All Search Engines Are Created Equal

Meaningful Learning with Technology also reminded me that not all search engines work the same way! As an information specialist, this was not a new concept to me, but I too am guilty of relying almost solely on google for my digital information queries. Oh, yeah, I forgot there was more out there than just google! And, while google's web crawlers return thousands of hits at a time, how many of them are really irrelevant? Maybe my goal for the coming week should be to experiment with some of the directory formatted search engines to see if their results are more accessible to me. At any rate, the directory style may make sifting through hits easier.
